This question is on my mind .. having read this post ..
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1508135&mesg_id=1508507The original article discussed the "myth of sovereignty" in Iraq. The OP pointed to the US now building permanent air bases there (and the big ol' lavish Embassy there) ... and the OP asked the question .. "what will they do to STAY in power? Short of rigging the voting machines again." (thanks for the post btw)
This got me thinking ...
either they DO think they can rig the voting again ... or ... what?
Its like a really bad novel pitch .. they use the US govt/military to invade a country rich in oil resources, drain as much money from the US govt via Haliburton and lack of oversight, totally screw up the government, civil rights, economy, and environment of the US, institute means to collect all communication datas from the US, deplete the military ... then after there 8 years end they move into the palactial US Embassy and continue to "try to take over the world, Pinkie" .....
Seriously though .. if not rigging the voting .. how do they really expect to stay in power and maintain that mess?
